The Company has created a Graphene Reinforced Plastic that is cost effective and with potential uses that could change the landscape as far as plastics utilization in products is concerned. From automobile parts to enhancing fragile smart phones, this revolutionary material can give products steel like endurance but with the weight, economics and simplicity of plastic. The material has many consumer advantages but in addition there are some protective attributes that are truly impressive.

In two video presentations the Company first demonstrated the ability of the graphene reinforced plastic to stop a collection of 22 caliber and 45 caliber bullets before demonstrating in the second video presentation the ability to stop the most commonly faced weapon of aggression in the military: the AK47.

With a thickness of less than a centimeter, the graphene reinforced plastic was only slightly scarred by the .22 and .45 rounds. In a second video presentation, the new plastic composite was set against an AK47 round. The damage to the plastic was more significant, but the round also failed to penetrate, which is encouraging at this early stage of development.

Further testing has been carried out in accordance with the current standard HOSDB Body Armour Standards for UK Police (2007) Part 3: Knife and Spike Resistance, which is harmonized with the US NIJ OO15 standard.

These standards define the parameters of the test requirements to classify and determine if a material can be seen as stab proof.

Following testing the material passed the protection levels as defined in table 7 of the above referenced document. See following link:

The weight of the reinforced Graphene plastic is very light and we believe it to be able to be one of the highest performing bullet proof materials in its cost and weight class that exists. Therefore, further testing in respect of the HOSDB and NIJ standards are ongoing in order to seek the bullet proof classification.

Please see the following videos for these demonstrations on Dr. Robert Murray-Smith's YouTube Channel:

The revolutionary development by the company has attracted quite a bit of attention and Dr. Robert Murray-Smith is conducting additional Edison lab demonstrations and meetings for those interested parties.

The Company understands the impact this product could have on everything from protective gear for police and the military to upgrading vehicle amour. Not only do automobiles including military vehicles and aircraft stand to benefit from the protective qualities of the graphene reinforced plastic, but that, combined with the economics and the weight advantages of the product, means that other products such as drones will have unique capabilities when coupled with this protective graphene plastic layer. Laptops, Tablets, Cell and Smart Phone outer layers could be almost impermeable to destruction.

EIA predicts U.S. gas production will grow by nearly 1 Bcf/d in one month EnerCom’s Effective Rig Count rose sharply last month, as improving efficiencies combined with a jump in active rigs. The Effective Rig Count now stands at 2,670, meaning it would take 2,670 rigs from January 2014 to yield the same production as current operations are achieving. Current[Read More…]
